Hello @John Doe
It is a best practice to use the relevant keys, constrains to eliminate the possibility of duplicate rows however if we have duplicate rows already in the table. We have some methods by which we can delete duplicate recordswe have to use advance SQL for this -
We use a SQL ROW_NUMBER function, and it adds a unique sequential row number for the row.
Hope it helps,
There are some others ways as well but I usually follow this way.

Let me know if it was helpful.
Above is only true in the simple situation that these duplicates are not yet used in your system for some purpose ! The real work will lie in first undoing everything that has already been done for these customers, and in identifying which one to keep.
I'm thinking specifically about things like
So, as @Tousif Khan said, your system should avoid getting duplicates in the first place.
once you have them, I think, in a production setting, more will be involved than simply deleting all records except the one with the lowest id, and part of that will probably be human judgement / intervention.
